It is said that the cat owner is high and cold, no matter how the shoveler is low and small, people are a look of independence and love.
No way, who can withstand the cat owner's innate cute critical attack?
You're cute, you decide.
It's just that we have been shovelers for a long time, and sometimes we will wonder:
On weekdays, what are our cat owners thinking?
More than a hundred years ago, there was a great writer in Japan named Natsume Soseki -- the same person who made countless young literary and artistic people's hearts flutter with a sentence of "Tonight's moon is really beautiful".
He wrote a famous novel, "I Am a Cat", which set a precedent for spitting on humans in the tone of a cat.
Today's animation to the emperor Amway, it is also from the perspective of a cat to observe the world, but its spearhead is directed at human religion.
It's a French animated film—
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > The Grey Cat of the Jewish Elders</h1>
(The Rabbi's Cat)
The animation was released in France in June 2011 and won the 2012 César Award for Best Animated Feature.
The first time I watched this animated movie, although it was titled "The Spirit Cat of the Jewish Elders", I did not want to admit that the cat inside was a "Spirit Cat".
The reason is simple: this cat is so ugly.
It was so ugly that I was hesitant to watch this anime from the first moment I saw it.
Fortunately, I watched it, and then found that this animation is quite interesting, if I gave up at the beginning, it would be a big loss.
The story takes place in Algeria, an African country in the 1920s.
At that time, Algeria was still a French colony, and its land was inhabited by French, Arabs, Jews, etc., and people of different nationalities and beliefs were mixed with each other.
In a small jewish town, the Jewish elders had a gray cat known as the Spirit Cat.
He also had a beautiful young daughter.
For daughters, on the one hand, the elders are absolutely strict requirements, on the other hand, they are often sad, because the daughter who has grown up will no longer be as intimate with herself as when she was a child.
He would even be jealous of the cat being favored by his daughter, complaining that her daughter loved cats more than herself.
The civet cat was not much different from the usual cat (except for the ugly one), until one day it ate the noisy parrot in the house and miraculously spoke.
But the first thing it said was a lie—it insisted that it hadn't eaten the parrot.
The Jewish elder and her daughter did not act too shocked by the cat's talk, and it didn't take long to get used to the new setting.
However, the elder who is seriously "daughter control" is worried that the talking spirit cat is likely to bring harm to his daughter, so he is no longer willing to let his daughter and the cat be alone in the room.
At this time, the spirit cat was already deeply in love with the elder's daughter.
In order to be able to see the elder's daughter again, he even decided to embrace Judaism and become an authentic "Jewish cat."
The first step to becoming a Jewish cat is to hold a coming-of-age ceremony.
They found the elder's teacher, but the teacher said that he would not give a cat an adult ceremony.
The spirit cat stood up to confront the teacher, and the situation became tense:
The teacher warned the spirit cat to dedicate all his love to the great god, but the spirit cat said that he only wanted to dedicate his love to his beloved sister;
The elder teacher emphasized that only God exists, but the spirit cat said that God was conceived only to reassure mankind, and only the beloved are real.
The outcome of this argument can be imagined, that is, the elder and his spirit cat were swept out of the house by the teacher. (Stallholder)
In fact, it is too "difficult for a strong cat" to believe in religion.
If nothing else, because this cat is essentially a scientific rationalist and is simply at odds with religion.
The Elders told the Cat that the world was built 5,700 years ago by God in 7 days of dust.
The spirit cat immediately jumped up when he heard the words: Are you teasing me? The world has existed since billions of years ago, which is easily demonstrated with carbon-14.
The appearance of a Young Russian shattered the town's inherent calm.
On this day, people found a Russian youth lying on his side in the pile of books.
Around this "corpse" that fell from the sky, everyone began to argue about what kind of funeral should be held for him.
If local customs are followed, a Jewish funeral should be held;
But the Russian was probably a Christian, and if he had gone out of his way to ask the priest for a funeral, the Jews might have been accused of apostasy;
So, how about sending people back to China without a funeral? Nor is it appropriate, because such an act would be spurned by God.
While everyone was chattering and arguing, the civet cat went up to the face of the Russian youth, and it was a claw.
The Russians actually came back to life!
Oh, people are not dead at all.
It was all because the people around him were arguing about the funeral without even confirming his life or death.
The cat on the side said that he had watched a good show for free.
The appearance of Russian youth caused a commotion.
His act of profiling the daughter of an elder violated, in the eyes of the elder's teacher, a violation of the precept of "prohibition of idolatry."
Seeing that the advice was unsuccessful, the teacher actually squeezed his eyebrows and said that the two of them "first portrait, then they are going to sleep." ”
The Russian youth is a young man with aspirations.
He had always longed to go into the vast desert, to find Jerusalem, the fabled birthplace of all blacks and Jews.
Under his infection, the Jewish elders and others were not only moved, but finally really took action.
In this way, a small broken car carrying Jewish elders, arab friends of elders, Russian youths, Cossack veterans, and the civet cat began to drive toward the depths of the desert.
You can pay attention to the flag behind the car, which is painted with a mixture of the two-headed eagle on the Tsarist flag and the Jerusalem mark.
In this thrilling adventure, the Jewish elders met countless people and experienced countless things.
Among them, in the Congolese Belgian colony, they even met the protagonist of "The Adventures of Tintin", the journalist Tintin and his dog Milu.
The animation does not forget the black hand of "Tintin".
In the eyes of the cat, Tintin is an overconfident journalist, and his dog is a "fool".
(Milu: ??? ）
However, the poisonous tongue of the spirit cat is still very useful at the critical moment.
In a black tavern, the multilingual grey cat volunteered to act as a translator between the Russian painter and the tavern waitress, allowing the painter to succeed in getting his sister.
After more than 9981 difficulties, they finally came to "Jerusalem", and the animation ushered in its biggest ridicule of religion.
It turned out that the people who lived in this so-called holy place were nothing more than a group of barbarians with a large body that could not communicate with them;
Jerusalem, the beautiful holy land that Russian youth have in mind, simply does not exist.
The whole animation can be said to be extremely ridiculous for religion, and the people who believe in religion in the eyes of the spirit cat are ugly and ridiculous.
But is The Grey Cat of the Jewish Elders an outright atheistic animation?
Not really.
Its ridicule of religion is more of a mockery of those who do not think about doctrine and obey orders.
And it praises the actions of Jewish elders, Russian youth, and others in their efforts to move forward in spite of hardships and dangers in the search for Jerusalem.
It is precisely because of the existence of religion that those who live in suffering receive indispensable comfort.
Although the goal did not exist from the beginning, the animation did not show the slightest hint of frustration, because everyone gained a lot from this "walk-and-go trip".
Interestingly, at the end of the anime, the scientologist Civet prays to God for the first time:
"Abraham, the eternal God, let me see my mistress as soon as possible."
Let her take good care of me, love me all the time, please.
The god of heaven and earth, send me into the crook of her arm, and be happy and happy with me until the end of time. ”
Then it looked around and said:
"Please let her not get married!" And never have children! amen. ”
Emmmmmmmmmm I think it's better for you guys not to be religious.
